The Rev. T. Leman.
Sir,—Your correspondent A.T. will find the information he requires respecting the Reverend Thomas Leman, of Bath, in the Gentleman's Magazine for Oct. 1826, p. 373.; for Aug. 1828, p. 183.; and for Feb. 1829. He may also consult Britton's Memoirs of the Life, Writings, and Character of Henry Hatcher.

A Memoir of the Rev. Thomas Leman will be found in Nichols's Illustrations of Literature, vol. vi. p. 435, et seq., comprising an enumeration of his writings in various county histories and other works of that character, and followed by eighteen letters addressed to Mr. Nicholls, J.N. Brewer, Esq., and the Rev. Dr. Samuel Parr.

Burnet Prize at Aberdeen.
Sir,—I sent a query to the Athenæum, who, by a note, referred it to you.
My object is to ascertain who gained the last Theological Premium (forty years since, or nearly) at Aberdeen. You no doubt know the subject: it is the best Treatise on "the Evidence that there is a Being all powerful, wise, and good, by whom every thing exists; and particularly to obviate difficulties regarding the wisdom and goodness of the Deity; and this, in the first place from considerations independent of Written Revelation, and, in the second place, from the revelation of the Lord Jesus; and, from the whole, to point out the inferences most necessary for and useful to mankind."
I wish to know who gained the first prize, and who the second premium.
